Dillon Danis has been taking shots at Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, for weeks now. He dug up her past relationships and posted several pictures of her with different celebrities. However, that did not sit well with ‘The Maverick’. Logan Paul finally got his chance at redemption during the press conference for their fight in October.

Incidentally, the day of the press conference was also Dillon Danis’ birthday. As both fighters started off exchanging verbal blows at each other, Logan Paul brought a cake as a gift for the Bellator fighter.

When Tommy Fury‘s father John Fury had enough of the childish nature of all the fighters’ trash talk, he flipped over the table, causing complete pandemonium. This prompted Paul to grab the opportunity and throw a piece of the cake he brought toward Danis. Fans were thrilled to see that incident and shared their thoughts on social media.

Fans comment on Logan Paul’s birthday treat to Danis

Dillon Danis recently shared a post on Instagram of the exact moment when Logan Paul threw the cake at him. The fans flocked to the comments section, with some of them claiming that ‘The Maverick’ got angry due to the use of steroids. Furthermore, they also believe that Paul was scared of Danis and that is why he resorted to throwing things from afar. Also, the throw did not impress the fans.

  • Throwing something at someone’s who’s being held back is so soft. Logan Paul is a middle schooler trapped in a adults body.
  • Bro we gotta deal with this sh*t for another 2 months before they fight

However, there were some fans who took aim at Dillon Danis. They believe that he’s just trying to act tough, and when the fight night comes, he will be a no-show.

  • No way Dillion trying to act tough when he skipped the interview with Logan last night
  • All this for Dillion to not show up the day of the fight

The press conference ended prematurely due to the chaos that erupted. Moreover, the scheduled face-off between Danis and Paul did not happen as the former left the venue early. Instead, the YouTube star faced off against the backup fighter, former UFC star and current BKFC fighter, Mike Perry. It is certain that there is plenty more drama to come as we wait for both fighters to clash in October.
